Temperatures are on the increase this weekend. Becoming hot next week, with highs in the low to upper nineties. Very low rain chances through midweek. Eighties today, nineties tomorrow. The ridge takes root. Climbing through the eighties on a Saturday morning Upper troffing kicked out without a warning Highs top out lower nineties in the sound Building in the pressure while we're pinned to the ground Patches of fog in the overnight creep Sunday warmer while the valley's asleep No relief in the sky, low chances of rain The heat comes locking down the entire domain Weak disturbances round the southern periphery! Trapped in the climb, no humidity symmetry! Merciless sun on the rise! The ridge takes over the center of the sky West of the plateau we burn and dry No storm to save us, no rain to loot The upper troffing has been given the boot! By Monday afternoon the high is centered right here Mid to late week pressure rising in fear Thursday pushing upper nineties west of the line Diurnal storm chances barely holding a sign Isolated light shower? Zero percent! Every single degree is deliberate, meant! NINETY! UPPER TROFFING GIVEN THE BOOT! HIGH PRESSURE LOCKED IN THE ROUTE! NO RAIN MIDWEEK! NO RAIN MIDWEEK! West of the plateau. Upper nineties. Given the boot.

By Monday, the upper ridge will be centered close to the area with temperatures continuing to increase.
That trend will continue through mid to late week.

There may be some weak disturbances that round the southern periphery of the upper high which will introduce some low diurnal storm chances perhaps on Wednesday but more so Thursday and Friday.
